Chapter 545: Evergreen Dilemma
Changqing Mountain.
Since 70,000 years ago, the Evergreen Immortal Venerable was able to settle this domain and establish the Evergreen Dao system, this mountain has always been the ancestor of thousands of immortal mountains in the domain, and the foundation of the source of Taoism.
After 70,000 years of operation, gathering the leylines of 39 countries and collecting the gas of 10,000 years, Changqing Mountain has reached 10,000 zhang, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, and a mountain is a country.
Such an immortal mountain ancestral garden is naturally yearned for by countless people who cultivate immortals and refine qi, attracting countless people to cultivate here.
And so it is.
The "Chronicles of Changqing Mountain", which is widely circulated in the outside world, has a sentence on it, which describes the prosperity of immortal cultivation in Changqing Mountain.
'Gather the people of the ten domains in the sea, lead the beauty of heaven and earth, take the blessings of the realm, hide the infinite treasures, and receive the congratulations of the immortals. ’
In just one sentence, the grand occasion of Changqing Mountain in the past has been vividly described.
Translation and translation, that is, Evergreen has gathered talents from the entire continent, so it has the favor of heaven and earth, and has embraced the blessings of the domain, and there are countless rare and strange treasures, which are congratulated by thousands of immortals.
This is not an exaggeration, but a description of the facts 10,000 years ago.
When Evergreen Immortal Venerable was still alive, Changqing Mountain was like this.
However, all this, with the fall of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable, slowly passed away like smoke and drifted away with the wind.
In the past hundred years, the Evergreen Immortal Sect has gathered the talents of the entire Continent, even the wise men in the Evergreen Domain, they are all unable to gather.
And the fact that a new Great True Person has not been born in the past 10,000 years also shows that the Evergreen Immortal Sect has lost the favor of the Heavenly Dao.
The fate in the domain was divided into three, divided by the Evergreen Immortal Sect, the Kyushu Immortal Sect, and the Taiping Dao family.
As a result, the input of various rare and exotic treasures has been decreasing day by day, and the treasury has gradually emptied.
There is no one, no destiny, no chance, no treasures, and the strength will naturally decline, and it will be impossible for thousands of immortals to come to congratulate.
This led to chaos in the region.
The decline of the Evergreen Immortal Sect is vividly displayed from the above sentence.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
Although the Evergreen Immortal Sect is in decline, there is no atmosphere of ten thousand immortals coming to the dynasty, but during the decline period, it is also the first immortal gate in the region, and among the mountain gates, there are thousands of monks living for a long time, and the weather is still good.
But that's what it was like before the war.
At least after the war with the Kyushu Xianmen, most of the monks stationed in Changqing Mountain were taken away, and many of them died on the front line.
In recent days, due to the recovery of Kyushu's strength, the atmosphere on the front line has begun to become tense again, and there have been many frictions between the two cases.
In order to enhance the strength of the frontline, the Evergreen Immortal Sect had to transfer manpower from the sect, and more than 100 people left.
These few transfers between the two sides also made Changqing Mountain, which was originally full of immortals and soaring into the sky, quickly fall silent.
There are only more than 100 people left in the door, all of whom have their own responsibilities, not only to take care of the various affairs and industries in the door, but also to guard against foreign sneak attacks.
100 days of sleeplessness, that's what I'm talking about.
And the decline of Changqing Mountain also reached its peak at this time.
Fortunately, in recent days, this situation has been reversed.
Although he passed away first, the inheritance in the door was orderly, and the heir was determined early.
Yao Shangxian is gone, but Song Zhenren is still there.
After stabilizing the front-line affairs, Song Zhenren returned to Shanmen, immediately began to stabilize people's hearts, and prepared for the succession ceremony, preparing to take over as the head of the sect, and continue to control the hearts of the people in the world as the leader of the evergreen sect.
As the victor of this battle, although the Evergreen Immortal Sect suffered heavy casualties, the strength of the sect was less than one, and the vitality was thorough.
But on the bright side, the Evergreen Immortal Sect broke through Kyushu, captured the four countries in a row, and properly expanded its territory.
In the meantime, although he was killed in battle, before Yao Baojuan died, he also beat the principal of Kyushu, and went directly to most of his life, not far from death.
And after the war, the Evergreen Immortal Sect was still strong, and on the front line, two earth immortals, eight human immortals, and six thousand monks were stationed, and Kyushu did not dare to move.
In the rear, there are still more or less some disciples left, adding up to three or four thousand.
The entire Evergreen Immortal Sect, even if it has experienced such a loss, still has a profound foundation, and it can take out ten true immortals and tens of thousands of monks.
Moreover, the previous backbone of Kyushu, Wang Chengfeng of the Canglong Sect, this monk in the middle stage of the Earth Immortal, had fallen into the battle with the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Another speaker, Meng Jianshan, was also seriously injured and dying, and he didn't live long.
After he sat down, there was only one Ding Wanxuan left in Kyushu who was in the early stage of the Earth Immortal.
Upholding neutrality, the Taiping Dao that shrank in the south of the domain, and its Taishang Elder Qingguanzi was only in the early stage of the Earth Immortal.
On the contrary, on the side of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, there are also Song Xiren and his junior brother, a total of two Earth Immortals.
Especially Song Xiren, after Wang Chengfeng died in battle and Meng Jianshan fell. As an Earth Immortal mid-stage cultivator, he will become the number one master in the entire Evergreen Domain.
In the future, it is foreseeable that the other party will suppress the entire domain with the power of one person.
With its strength, coupled with the remnants of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, as well as the results of this war from Kyushu, as well as the nine vassal sects that were about to be harvested.
All of the above add up, no matter how you look at it, in the next five thousand years, the Evergreen Immortal Sect will be the rhythm of great prosperity.
Under such circumstances, the Evergreen Immortal Sect held a succession ceremony, and the surrounding forces that were friendly with it were naturally happy to come and hold a scene.
However, those Heavenly Immortal Sects, due to the order of the Great True People, still did not come, but just asked someone to send some gifts to express their gratitude.
Fortunately, not only did they not come to the Evergreen Immortal Sect, but they also did not go to the Kyushu Immortal Sect, both sides were treated equally, and none of them wanted to come to the Evergreen Domain.
In this regard, although the Evergreen Immortal Sect was a little dissatisfied, it couldn't say anything, so it had to endure it.
There is no great real person, even if the Evergreen Immortal Sect has the name of a Heavenly Immortal Sect, it is only a monkey, and in the eyes of those real Heavenly Immortal Sects, it is no different from a clown.
Song Xiren knew this, so he naturally didn't dare to have any opinions.
However, to his relief, other sects did not come, so he just left.
Those guys can't help him.
But in the Taiping Road of Yunan, there were still people coming this time, which really made Song Xiren breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the Evergreen Immortal Sect seems to have achieved a great victory, and it has achieved a lot of results after the war, and it has suddenly played the qi number of the next five thousand years.
But only he, the principal, knows what a fierce fire the sect is now, and it is in danger.
The strength of the Kyushu Immortal Sect has recovered very quickly, and the remaining veins of the Nine Spirits in the outer regions are all ready to move, and they are forming a coalition army to attack the Evergreen Immortal Sect together with the five immortal sects in the west of the domain.
Now the four kingdoms in the west of the domain that the Evergreen Immortal Sect had just captured were once again ignited, and the big array had just been repaired, and it looked like it was about to start fighting again in the blink of an eye.
The pressure on the border is so great that the battlefield is on the verge of breaking out.
He, who is about to become a teacher, how can he not be anxious?
In order to keep the results just achieved on the Western Front and block the possible counterattack in Kyushu, Song Xiren recently even had to draw out more than 1,000 people from the disciples stationed in the rear countries and send them to the front line to support.
And as soon as these people left, there were less than 3,000 disciples left in the vast land of the twenty-one countries in the middle of the domain, the north of the domain, and the east of the domain.
In terms of average score, there are only 100 disciples left in a country.
During this period, there were no true immortals in charge.
The emptiness of the defense is like window paper, which can be pierced by any person.
At this time, if someone has a different heart and mobilizes more than a thousand monks at will, they can turn the entire rear upside down without using true immortals.
Those demons who were in the south of the domain at the beginning, if they came to the north, the middle of the region, and the east of the region, I am afraid that they would immediately be able to pull the flag and rebel, and they would be called the king according to the country.
The only thing that is thankful is.
Now the Evergreen Immortal Sect has just won a big victory, breaking the main force of Kyushu, and its prestige has spread all over the surrounding regions.
At the same time, the fierceness of the war in the Evergreen Domain also spread everywhere with the news of the victory.
The surrounding forces, who are a little well-informed, cannot help but be shocked and have lingering palpitations.
At this time, the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Kyushu Immortal Sect, the two forces have a tendency to fight again, and it seems that this place is about to become a meat grinder again.
For such a place of death, who is not open-eyed, dares to come here to make trouble?
The water in the Evergreen Domain is too deep and too terrifying.
Even the great monks in the late stage of the Earth Immortal can die, and the real people of the Earth Immortal have died several times in a row, dozens of true immortals, and tens of thousands of monks.
This kind of loss, even if it is put into those Heavenly Immortal Sects, it is almost equivalent to destroying the door.
Don't you see those Heavenly Immortal Sects, have they all strictly ordered their disciples not to enter the Evergreen Domain?
Those disciples of the great real people are so cautious.
Other small sects, and even scattered cultivation demons, where did they have the courage to dare to go over there to make trouble.
So, after this war fermented.
Not only the Heavenly Immortal Sect, but they didn't dare to come to the Evergreen Domain. Those ordinary immortals, demons and monsters, etc., don't dare to come.
The current Evergreen Domain is a war zone.
Outsiders are likely to be regarded as traitors and killed directly.
There have been many examples of this kind in the past few decades of war.
In the face of the two red-eyed families, even if the other people from the Immortal Sect were killed, they could only swallow their anger and dare not say anything.
Otherwise, you can still call?
With the intensity of war here, who would dare to run to death?
Therefore, relying on this prestige, the Evergreen Domain has now become a forbidden place.
Before the prestige was punctured and others found themselves weak, the current situation could still be maintained.
In a short period of time, there is no need to worry about external troubles.
But external troubles do not come, but internal worries are not necessarily.
There was a shortage of troops in the front, and there was emptiness in the rear, and both places were already in danger.
The situation is critical to this point, and some people with a heart are inevitably ready to move.
In the Evergreen Domain, there are not only the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Kyushu Immortal Sect. Taiping Dao, who has been sitting in the south, staying out of the way, and watching the play alone, has always retained his strength!
Although Taiping Dao was supported by Song Xiren with one hand, he also had a good relationship with the other party's Taishang Elder Qingguanzi and had a good relationship.
But it is precisely because of this that he understands the Taiping Dao.
This immortal sect that came out of nowhere, but has developed rapidly, is by no means as weak as it seems to outsiders.
Just look at the development of the other party in recent years.
Taiping Dao established a sect in the south of the domain, and it has only been a few years?
In less than two hundred years, there was one more true immortal in the other party's door.
At such a speed, even if it is because Taiping Dao has obtained the south of the domain, plundered a lot of resources, and has the five countries to support, it is extremely amazing.
You must know that after the decisive battle three thousand years ago, the Evergreen Immortal Sect sat on the four regions of the north, the middle, the east, and the south, and governed thirty countries, of which fifteen were directly under the central government.
But even with such strength, after three thousand years, it has only recovered to the level of four earth immortals and seventeen human immortals.
On average, it takes one hundred and fifty years to get a true immortal.
This is still counted, the original surviving true immortals, if they are only considered rising stars, it will take two hundred years to raise a true immortal.
But you know, what is the volume of the Evergreen Immortal Sect?
What is the volume of Taiping Road?
The difference between the two cases is almost three times, but there is only a similar cultivation result, or rather, Taiping Dao is even better.
Doesn't that tell the story?
Taiping Road not only has strength, but also potential.
If there is such a neighbor, whoever it is, will have trouble sleeping.
Under normal circumstances, if it encounters the existence of Taiping Dao, the Evergreen Immortal Sect naturally has nothing to say, and directly suppresses and exterminates it.
Coincidentally, the timing of the appearance of Taiping Road was too wonderful.
It happened that the Kyushu Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Sect had each regained their strength, and both sides were ready to move, wanting to open up new territories and regain their lost homeland.
Plus the accumulation of feuds.
The contradictions between the two sides have long been irrelievable, and the signs of a major war were already brewing before the Taiping Road came.
And the arrival of Taiping Dao, such a buffer place in the south of the domain, is just the fuse that ignites this war.
Even if there is no peace road, war will still happen, but it may drag on for another one or two hundred years, and it will not be launched until both sides are more prepared.
The root of everything, since the establishment of the Evergreen Immortal Sect 70,000 years ago and the return of Kyushu 10,000 years ago, has already planted hatred.
In the face of such feuds, unless one side perishes. Otherwise, it will not be resolved at all.
The only thing that can be relieved a little is a big war between the two sides, just like now, tens of thousands of people died on each other, everyone died, and both sides could not fight, they could only lick their wounds secretly.
Then, before the injury recovers, it will be peaceful for thousands of years.
Both the Kyushu Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Sect knew this, and they both did so, and jointly promoted this big battle for their own interests.
But now after the war, both sides are inevitably in a period of injury and weakness.
Therefore, during the period of recuperation, how to survive the prying eyes from the outside world has become a problem that both parties must face.
How can you be sure that you will recover from your injuries and wait until the next peak comes?
Faced with this problem, the two sects invariably looked to the south.
The one with one earth immortal, three human immortals, and three affiliated immortal sects is the lord of the south of the domain, Taiping Dao.
People from the outside world were frightened by the tragic situation in the Evergreen Domain, and they didn't dare to come to make trouble.
But the people in the Evergreen Domain don't necessarily think so.
At this time, Taiping Dao, which maintained its peak strength, if there was a movement, whether it was to the west or to the north, it could have earth-shaking changes in the current situation.
Support either side, and it is possible to completely destroy the other side.
In particular, both of them are in a period of weakness, and their strength is infinitely close to that of Taiping Dao, so that the weight influence that the other party can have is far greater than before the war.
Rejuvenate the country with one word, destroy the sect with one word.
It's about today's Taiping Road.
"Taiping Dao is now willing to send someone to my Evergreen Immortal Sect, which means that the other party is still willing to communicate with me. There was no hostility because I defeated Kyushu in the Evergreen Immortal Sect and captured half of the western region in a row.
Of course, there must be some jealousy and vigilance.
That's why they sent people to attend my succession ceremony, and on the other hand, they sent the head of the sect to the side of the Nine Spirits, and the two families did not delay.
Is this move trying to sell at a price? ”
In the Evergreen Immortal Sect, after receiving the news of Qingguanzi's arrival, Song Xiren couldn't help but speculate about the other party's intentions while going to greet him.
Just as Lu Yuan had guessed before.
The Kyushu Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Sect have been fighting for thousands of years, and within each other's sects, they don't know how many fine works have been placed.
All kinds of news on both sides have long been carefully made by these things, and they are infiltrated like a sieve, and the other side will know it immediately if there is a slight disturbance.
Therefore, Taiping Dao Zhangjiao, Yi Dancheng went to Kyushu Immortal Gate to participate in the celebration, and even who he contacted during the celebration, as well as some more public topics, the Evergreen Immortal Sect found out clearly.
Song Xiren was clear about the closeness to the remnants of the Nine Spirits expressed in the celebration of Taiping Dao in the west of the domain.
Seriously.
When he learned about this, his heart could be described as shocked and angry.
The importance of Taiping Road has been mentioned above, so there is no need to repeat it too much.
Once the other party fell to the Kyushu Immortal Sect, it would be absolutely unimaginable bad news for the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
Once the Taiping Dao joins the battlefield, then the advantage that the Evergreen Immortal Sect has now gained will collapse in an instant.
At this time, not only should you spit out all the things you eat, but most of the original places in your home will have to be thrown away.
For the Evergreen Immortal Sect, which finally had a chance to revivenation, it was tantamount to a slap in the face, and it was something that was simply unacceptable to knock down dust from the clouds.
So after finding out about the matter, Song Xiren also immediately began to act.
immediately prepared the same succession celebration, and focused on inviting Taiping Dao to participate, and the invitations were sent directly to his friend, Qingguanzi.
This is to test the attitude of Taiping Dao and try to win over the other party.
At this time, Qingguanzi chose to be invited, and even came to Changqingshan in person, undoubtedly feeling his signal of goodwill and choosing to accept.
Taiping Dao did not completely guide the seriously weakened Kyushu Immortal Sect because of the great victory of the Evergreen Immortal Sect this time, and also retained a channel that was willing to contact the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
The relationship between the two sides has not yet reached the point where they must fight each other.
Everything is still to be discussed.
I just don't know what price I have to pay if I want to appease Taiping Dao and win over my friend. The other party is already the lord of the southern domain, and if he wants to satisfy the appetite of Taiping Dao, it is not so easy, this time he will bleed heavily. ’
Song Xiren sighed in his heart, and then came to the outer room, and saw Qingguanzi waiting at the door, and hurriedly smiled: "Qingguanzi Daoist friends are coming, poor Dao greets late, forgive sins......"
Don't care what you think in your heart, at this time, in the face of this 'good neighbor' and 'good Taoist friend', Song Xiren had to suppress his emotions and try to win over.
